Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The title of this Special Issue is Unveiling the Anatomy of Animals: From Comparative Studies to Clinical Applications, and therefore, it  especially welcomes comparative research on the selected organs of wild animals.

You are invited to submit of high-quality review articles and original research mainly covering comparative anatomy, using histological, histochemical, ultrastructural, and immunohistochemical methods. Comparative studies based on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques are also welcome in this Special Issue.

The purpose of this Special Issue aims to provide data that may be used to develop techniques and treatment methods that can be used by veterinarians on wild animals in zoos as well as national parks.

The study describes the ultrastructure of the tongue in the Patagonian mara (Dolichotis patagonum) using light and scanning electron microscopy. Histochemical methods were used for evaluation of lingual salivary glands. The tongue is divided into a small and rounded apex, a narrow corpus, and a significantly wider radix, with a well-developed lingual prominence. The tip of the apex is free of papillae. The caudal part of the apex and the corpus are covered by filiform papillae. Round fungiform papillae are scattered among them. Papillae on the narrow stalk are conical. The radix contains caudally bent papillae forming wide flat prominences, slender, hook shaped filiform papillae, foliate papillae, and two oval vallate papillae. Taste buds were found on the lateral sides of the foliate and vallate papillae. Purely serous salivary glands are beneath the vallate and foliate papillae. Serous acini and mucous tubules are in the lingual radix. The Patagonian mara is the only hystricomorph rodent with described hyaline cartilage strengthening the lingual radix. Some typical signs of adaptation to herbivorous diet were found. The structure of the tongue is adapted to grass-feeding, as grasses form the main component of their diet. Full article
